Four Cheers for our Four-Legged Friends!

Think about your work team. That special someone who gets you through the day. They join you on every call and have your back through every project. They keep you company on every break and never take credit for your work… Anyone spring to mind? In today’s WFH culture, I would wager for many that it’s not an office bestie, but our pets!

Working from home has become for most, the default way of working. And that means we’ve traded work friends for furry friends. An estimated 57% of UK households house a staggering 38 million pets, meaning for so many of us, we’re spending more time with our pets than ever before, with them becoming an integral part of our working day.

My beloved black and white cat Figaro has made appearances on many a Zoom, and his meowzart symphony has provided the soundtrack for more than a few brainstorming sessions (apologies to my team!). He is to be forgiven though, for not always being the most co-operative or focussed of assistants, because he is an excellent lap warmer and provides support on harder days.

Cats, dogs, budgies or hamsters, no matter the pet, you can bet they are enriching the days of those working from home all over the country. Do you have a special pet that sticks by your side all day long? Keep an eye on our socials as we brighten your feeds and introduce the pets of Olive Jar Digital.
